Food Waste

All houses have a kerbside food caddy to present their food waste for collection each week. These can be lined with either corn starch or paper liners, carrier bags or plastic bags such as those bread comes in. Please don't use black bags.

Top Tips:

Remember that you can now use corn starch or paper liners, carrier bags or plastic bags such as those bread comes in. All bags are okay except black bags.

Do keep the lid locked closed to keep flies out and smells in.

Don't put liquids or very wet food in your caddy.

Add FAQ - Can I have a kitchen caddy? Some homes previously received smaller caddies to keep in their kitchens. There is a limited stock still available which are available on a first come basis. If you would like a small kitchen caddy please contact us.

Where can I get more caddy liners from?

The Council no longer provide caddy liners however you can purchase compostable liners from larger supermarkets and online. Why not simply use unwanted plastic bags such as those your bread comes in, to wrap your food.
